Yes quite a change from last year.

How recent are those prices?

How recent are those prices?

Prices were agreed to on Oct.7. Different retailer than last year. Last years retailer had a higher price and earliest available product was December.

I'll soil test before freeze up. Itll make no difference... theres nothing to freeze. I'll be drilling cores rather than step-on probing anyway.

If they dont have any come spring then so be it. I'll try to scrounge up some phos for peas, and if theres no N, then maybe put some 20-0-0-24 down for starter and call it a day.

You can jack commodity prices to the moon, and if we dont end up with MASSIVE amounts of fall precip and snow, it'll all be money down the drain here!

Theres nothing, nada, zilch for moisture from the surface down to 4+ feet.

Moisture levels here are pretty much the same. Some rain or snow would be great right now. Sure been waiting a long time for it , but..... We are one day closer!

Prices have gone insane in the last week. Retailer said over 1300 for Phos

[BreadWinner]

Im thinking the fertilizer industry will have to do something to start moving product. Retailers are not filling up because they don’t want to get shafted with overpriced inventory and farmers will not buy at these prices. The dry conditions may kick the fertilizer industry in the ass if we don’t get any significant rain or snow by Christmas. How much fertilizer will you be putting in the ground if its bone dry at seeding.

[Sodbuster]

I can still get phos for $1100 but potash price is on hold for now until my retailer can access supply. You would think that high N prices would curb corn acres therefore less demand for potash.

[bucket]

How is it possible potash supply in Saskatchewan is an issue?

Because they can.

[farming101]

At these prices I think getting Kcl from China would work

[farming101]

anyone that filled the bins at 650 should sell it for 1000 + + !

350 a tonne profit and you dont need the Sun or the Rain !

Just kick back with a big Cigar !

Hamloc freaked me out so I ordered 2/3rds of what we need. Delivery jan or feb which sucks.

If supply is still an issue or prices have skyrocketed in the spring, we have enough to grow a decent crop.

My apologies that wasn’t my intention, Richardson rep freaked me out a couple weeks ago when he told me his price. Was just looking for different opinions.

Soil test came back 62 lbs N on bean land. Canola land coming back over 100. 70 lbs for 60 bus wht.

[JankoFarms]

Im wondering if Urea will top out around $1150 over the next month then come crashing down once the fear subsides. I think at these numbers guys in the drought areas who havent booked play the waiting game and see if it rains and take their chances on top dressing.

Perhaps we'll all be going organic?

just did post-harvest report for insurance...

sub 6 yellow mustard, 7 cwad, 9 yellow peas on about 5" of in season moisture. Soil moisture reserve next to empty.

Let's say we get "average" in season moisture next year, and it comes at the perfect time, what does one stand to grow? double this year? I'm not going to need much fertilizer to get to 10bu mustard, 15 durum, and 18 peas.
